DARREN&PHILLIPさんのインスタグラム写真 - (DARREN&PHILLIPInstagram)「The reason behind it all. My boy, my best friend, the one who ignited a passion within me to show staffies in the light they deserve. You showed the world what this breed is about. You showed a softness and silliness that often gets overlooked amongst your breed. You have changed the mind of so many people through being here. You’ve lived your life with so much energy, happiness and never ending excitement. All I did was lean on those qualities to create this whole brand, and it’s now become your legacy that will live on forever. I made this brand because I was tired of the stigma and stereotypes that staffies had to look tough and wear choker chains and studded collars, when you were absolutely not tough and instead possessed more qualities of a cuddly teddy bear. I needed the world to see staffies for what I saw infront of me every day, and we did that together by creating our cute clothes for families all over the world to enjoy. ⁠ ⁠ We had so much fun together over the years, you loved wearing the creations I made for you, you loved getting your picture taken and you loved all the extra attention that came along with wearing your cute clothes out in public. But on a much bigger scale, thanks to being here on Instagram, you were changing the minds of thousands, if not millions, of people. ⁠ ⁠ I am so thankful you inspired this brand because now it’s gone so much bigger than me and you, it’s become something that people can lean into to have the same impact in their own circles. Sharing their own cute pics on instagram matching their Staffy, showing the world how staffies so beautifully become one of the family and deserve to be treated as such. You sparked a whole movement, you raised millions of dollars while doing it but all you wanted in return was a few chin scratches and a cuddle. ⁠ ⁠ I will forever be thankful for you Zozzle, you’ve given my life so much purpose far beyond the twelve short years I was lucky enough to be with you for. So here's to you. Darren of Darren and Phillip, a legacy that will live on forever.」8月20日 6時31分
